They're actually quite alike, ISFP/ESFP/ENTJ/INTJ all in the same quadra in socionics like others have mentioned which means they all have the same functions. You aren't terribly far off. Confusing her for an ISFJ would have been tremendously so.

Pretty far, but Introverts can be harder to read. As much as INFJ's are called unicorns, it's ISFPs that really feel like they are magical woodland creatures. INFJ's feel like they're from distant stars.

ESIs are hardasses more often than not, IME.

To be fair, something that only builds on something that already is established is bound to be a bit more extensive and demeaning skepticism only breeds ignorance.

I deal with systems every day. When applying them to real-world situations, the more complex and 'extensive' they get with regard to real-world complex information (people), the more you have to work at shoe-horning your expectations into it. Face reading is the equivalent to what we call in my industry as 'bad code smell'.

In computer programming, code smell is any symptom in the source code of a program that possibly indicates a deeper problem. According to Fowler,[1] "a code smell is a surface indication that usually corresponds to a deeper problem in the system".
